celebrate
sometimes we need something to celebrate. i am chosing today, international cephalopod awareness day. sure, it seems like a group of octopus fans made this up just a few days ago. who cares? their point was that talking like a pirate is kinda stupid, too. cephalopods are pretty great and usually don't steal from you. and do you really believe all of those tales about giant squids bringing down ships in the ocean? big squids have reportedly attacked small fishing vessels, but they weren't giant. just 40 feet including tentacles. i mean, that is hardly monster sized, right? probably terrifying, but still, come on people, that's tiny.
octopuses can, if kept as pets, get out of their tanks, go to nearby tanks, eat the fish kept there, and slink back home. so maybe i would worry about that more than kraken.

mathematical!
watch this and have all of your dreams realized.
on the other hand, watch this and... nothing. this is my mother's favorite website. my dad says that she is obsessed. it is an african watering hole. you can watch it live. it is cool and all, i suppose, but you have to wait a long time to see something. or else you have to check it as obsessively as you check your email.
update: i guess the link to the awesome cartoon is gone. i found it on you tube, but it isn't that clear. try searching there for adventure time.

this is not everyone's cup of tea
from jon. a video of a centipede killing a bat. i immediately thought of my mother. guano features heavily in my mother's cup of tea. as does death. eye of newt, too, if she could get it.

there is clearly something wrong with me
i can no longer look at cute overload. yes, some of the animals are cute. i'm just so tired of the baby talk and the stupid puppies. i refuse to look. if you see something especially cute that isn't a dog or a cat, please let me know. especially if it is a reptile. i adore reptiles.
update: connie and i think we saw a muskrat on our walk this morning. awesome!
